Using our 'SMARTS'

 Using our 'SMARTS' to study water through the lens of the history of Aotearoa...

In the past two weeks Te Kinga students have been exploring the properties of water, and in particular its role in the history of our country.  We have used a variety of 'Smarts' or ways to explore and learn about water. For example, for 'Book Smart' in week one we read all about the water cycle and recorded information in our topic books. Last week we took amazing photos of water in our playground, we looked at bridge construction and collected as much water as we could without using taps! Here are some highlights from our learning...
